<P>8pm ad-hoc avant-garde improv hoedown<BR>9pm Kris Tiner (LA)/Donald Robinson duo</P>
<P>ad-hoc avant-garde improv hoedown is a set where anyone who wants to improvise experimental music (except for jerks) is welcome to show up with their gear, plug in, and improvise with whoever else shows up. All instruments are welcome. RSVPing with Matt Davignon (<A href="mailto:mattdavignon@gmail.com">mattdavignon@gmail.com</A>) is appreciated but not mandatory.</P>
<P>KRIS TINER is active on the West Coast as a trumpet player, composer, and improviser. His music has been described as "extraordinarily inventive" by Signal to Noise, and Cadence Magazine calls him "a really compelling voice." He has performed at concert venues and festivals throughout North America and Europe and appears on over 35 recordings. His own projects have been released on the Clean Feed, pfMENTUM, Nine Winds, and Evander Music labels. In addition to numerous interdisciplinary collaborations involving dance, poetry and spoken word, visual art, film, and animation he has recorded music for radio, television, and motion picture scores and his trumpet playing <BR>has been heard on MTV and Comedy Central. His primary musical projects include the Empty Cage (formerly MTKJ) Quartet and TIN/BAG, a duo collaboration with Brooklyn guitarist Mike Baggetta. Kris is a regular member of the Industrial Jazz Group and the Los Angeles Trumpet Quartet, and he
has performed and/or recorded with a broad range of creative musicians including Vinny Golia, Wadada Leo Smith, Leroy Jenkins, Gerry Hemingway, Nels Cline, Ken Filiano, Kraig Grady, Jeff Kaiser, G.E. Stinson, Tatsuya Nakatani, Joe LaBarbera, Lukas Ligeti and Phillip Greenlief. A California native, Kris holds an MFA in African-American Improvisational Music from California Institute of <BR>the Arts. He has lectured on both music and visual art, and currently directs the jazz program and teaches courses in jazz and American popular music at Bakersfield College.</P>
<P>Described as a 'percussive dervish' (Coda) DONALD ROBINSON is a <BR>technical master of the drums. He is a stalwart of the of San <BR>Francisco bay area avant-garde jazz scene, playing and recording with many of the area's improvisational players, from saxophonists John Tchicai, Marco Eneidi and Larry Ochs to koto player Miya Masaoka and pianist Matthew Goodheart, and with prominent visitors like Cecil Taylor, Wadada Leo Smith, George Lewis, trumpeter Raphe Malik and Canadian pianist Paul Plimley. Much of this work has featured the combination of Robinson and bassist Lisle Ellis as rhythm section: 'the best bass-drums tag team on the scene' (Jazz Times). His longest musical association, dating from the 1970's, was with the late tenor <BR>saxophonist Glenn Spearman. Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1953, Robinson first studied classical percussion at the New England Conservatory. During the early 1970's he served his musical apprenticeship in the jazz
world of Paris, studying with Kenny Clarke and playing with Alan Silva, Anthony Braxton, Oliver Lake and Bobby Few among many others. He first played with Spearman as a duet partner during this period in Paris, an association which continued through various configurations and many recordings until the saxophonist's death in 1998. Robinson is currently playing in many configurations with a broad range of musicians throughout Europe and the US.</P>
